This 2000 BMW M5 has 70k miles and is finished in Le Mans Blue Metallic over a Silverstone and black Nappa leather interior. Power is supplied by a 4.9-liter S62 V8 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, and factory equipment includes heated seats, a navigation system, a sunroof, and more. The car was sold new in Kansas and acquired in 2008 by its second owner, with whom it reportedly remained until last year. A new clutch was installed by the selling dealer, and additional work performed in the last 300 miles included a new windshield washer pump, ignition switch, wiper blades, filters, brake fluid, and engine oil. This E39 M5 is said to have spent a year on display at LeMay America’s Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington and is now offered for sale with service records beginning in 2004, an original owner’s manual, a tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clear Oregon title.

The exterior is finished in Le Mans Blue Metallic and features gloss black Shadowline trim. According to the seller, the hood was replaced as a result of a parking lot incident, though no accidents or other damage are shown on the Carfax report.

Factory 18″ Style 65 wheels wear Continental ExtremeContact tires, which were installed in 2015 along with new brake pads, rotors, and power steering return hoses.

The interior is trimmed in two-tone Silverstone and black Nappa leather with brushed aluminum accents. Amenities include powered and heated seats, a sunroof, navigation, a 6-disc CD changer, dual-zone climate control, and more. Wear is noted on the handbrake lever and shift knob.

Instrumentation includes a 185-mph speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, and a digital odometer that shows 70,600 miles.

The 4.9-liter S62 V8 produced 394 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm when new, which is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and factory limited-slip differential. The clutch was replaced by the selling dealer, and a new ignition switch, windshield washer pump, and air filter were installed less than 300 miles ago in 2018.

Included service records also cover the fitment of new valve cover gaskets, serpentine belts, a crankshaft position sensor, and a thermostat assembly in 2015. Several photos of the underbody, suspension, and quad-exit exhaust system are viewable below.

The Carfax report lists no issues and shows history in Kansas and Oregon through its most recent entry in February 2018. A driving video is presented below.
